Dell now ships with OpenBMC iDRACs and such. How does what you mention differ from the RoT in Dells?

Dell uses trusted platform modules (TPM). It's a separate chipset than the BMC chipset.

For a mostly open source solution, not only would you need open source BMC firmware, you must have an open source UEFI/BIOS/boot firmware like CoreBoot, LinuxBoot, Oreboot, Uboot, etc.
